That would be CARD=Device to use the USB Device, and that actually
works. --rate 44100 does not seem to work. Is it possible that the USB
device is only able to play back at 48 kHz so that the PC needs to
resample, or can this be a driver issue that the frequency is not
correctly selected?

And even after successful playback with --rate 48000 and the DAT deck
still being synced to the input, iecset -c iec958:CARD=Device,DEV=0 says
Rate: 44100.

Google results are inconclusive, a ton of forum entries like
"AES0=number fixed it for me", but nothing resembling an explanation,
and nothing in the Documentation subdirectory in the kernel tree.
